I need a simple tile based map editor, that will output to a text file.

May 31st, 2008

Hello, in my game I use .txt files to hold my map information. Each character, (such as "a" or "A" or "1" or "!") stands for a tile or sprite.

Here's a picture of what one of my map files looks like

So does anyone know of a map editor where you can simply assign the tiles one character assignments (such as "a" or "A" and "1" or "%"), and then output it to a text file, where top row is top row of the map editor, last row is the last row in the map editor?

I have been looking for about a month while making my project, and I am at the point where I need to begin creating levels. I have tried about 20 different map editors, and they only export in arrays, or other programmy language type things. Thanks for the help.
